Rakitic Ready For Any Outcome Of His Barcelona Future

By Joshua Walters

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has disclosed he prefers to continue his future with the Camp Nou outfit but will embrace any decision that comes from the club.

Rakitic has been heavily linked with a move to French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain following the arrival of Dutch youngster Frenkie de Jong from Ajax. 

"It's a situation which I have been used to since I was here. Last year the same thing happened to me. My idea is to continue at Barca, but I am open to everything. I want to continue enjoying here because I have years left on my contract.

"It doesn't annoy me that people speak about my future. I have to understand that football in general works like that. The only thing is that I see myself here. In one way it fills me with joy that other teams ask about me because it means that I am doing things well," he continued.

"I have spoken to the president on various topics, but at the moment the club has other things to do then think about my little things. The president wants the same as me, which is to form a good team so that people enjoy at Barca,"

In thirty-four LaLiga games, Rakitic managed to score 3 goals with five assists while his twelve appearances in the Champions League produced just a goal.

Barcelona, beefing up their squad, have signed French striker Antoine Griezmann, Valencia’s Neto and De Jong from Ajax as a potential return for their former winger, Neymar seems impossible.
